Why nonsense? It's perfectly true.

[largeronald] 31/5/2019 13:40

One of the many lies still being trotted out by the brexiteers. The EU being on the losing side trade wise is like saying: Britain exports more to Gibraltar than Gibraltar exports to Britain, therefore Britain needs Gibraltar more than Gibraltar needs Britain.

Patently nonsense.

On resolving the Brexit impasse, he said: ‘If the choice is to leave without a deal — fine. If the choice is to stay in the EU — also fine. But if the choice is still to leave the EU in an orderly manner, this treaty is the only option.’"



Here is where i disagree with M Barnier and the enthusiastic remainers.

There is always another way, always. But perhaps we need to go down the route of no deal to find it.

Personally, I'd call his bluff, because at the end of the day, they are on the losing side trade wise.

Still waiting to hear on buy back news or a bonus dividend the board have to do something with all that extra capital!

Polar - well sod them then....NO deal!!

Barnier is on the front page of this morning's Metro newspaper, in a lengthy piece. The concluding paras couldn't be clearer, as a summary of the EU's position:

"He warned Conservatives not to believe candidates who promise to reopen the withdrawal agreement ahead of the October 31 deadline.

On resolving the Brexit impasse, he said: ‘If the choice is to leave without a deal — fine. If the choice is to stay in the EU — also fine. But if the choice is still to leave the EU in an orderly manner, this treaty is the only option.’"

As the Tory beauty contest gets properly underway around mid-June, I shall be bearing the clear choices in mind and comparing the various candidates' positions against them. I expect fantasies, wishful-thinking, misrepresentation and lies in abundance.

There isn't a majority in Parliament for any of the choices, of course. Fun times ahead!

.................... The Tories 12 Disciples ..................


We now have the chosen 12 who will lead us out of all our troubles.

A 13th will come sayeth the 22 committee who make complete the holey group.

From one of these a leader will be anointed to guide us all along the paths of Tory righteousness for we as a people do not know what we do.

Guidance and Deliverance is at hand , the chosen one will save us from our Brexit sins and make us clean and whole again.

Loathsome by name, loathsome by nature.

Or, as the Speaker of the House would describe her: a fukcing stupid woman.

Admirable qualities for our next PM.

Private Eye reports that a certain A Leadsom has not disclosed that her husband is deep into hedge fund and off-shore territory. In a year that the ft and dow indices have dropped 12.5 and 6 % profits of his partnership were up 65%. As the Eye says, it's odd that in the prolonged Brexit environment which is perfect for such a firm, she keeps quiet about this closely related party.

The District Judge announced that "The charges are indictable only".

Which means a Crown Court or High Court Judge and Jury.

[polar fox] 29/5/2019 09:58

You couldn't make it up.

SKY:

A district judge has ruled Boris Johnson will be summonsed to court to face accusations of misconduct in public office for comments made in the run-up to the EU referendum

Apparently, it's about the £350m pw claim on the bus. A case has been brought that that was a lie.

[leedskier] 29/5/2019 07:36

found on twitter ... "part of the problem is that the Labour Party is led by a 70 year old student activist"

[pander45] 28/5/2019 21:35

The biggest enemy is vacillation, not no deal. Belief and decisiveness is needed now - in other words some strong leadership!

[cfc1] 28/5/2019 13:57

seems strange that the PM now resigned is back in Brussels - waste of tax payers money - what on earth is she doing there?

[buywell3] 28/5/2019 09:42

buywell wants Andrea Leadsom to become the next president of England


She will get the job done and get Brexit done by Halloween


It has been a nightmare for some


Macron and many EU bureaucrats just want us gone now …. we have become too much of a problem


Nigel and his mates are going to cause mayhem


All thanks to Toxic T getting a 6mth extension …. could it be part of a cunning master plan all along ?

[cfc1] 26/5/2019 09:03

agreed NO DEAL...but everyone will tell us the UK will sink into the abyss - more BS. Trouble is MPs are the disaster who cant make proper decisions. THey have proven they dont represent the will of the people.

[leedskier] 24/5/2019 15:53

Macron will try to block any further extension.

[maxk] 24/5/2019 14:51

That being the case polar, the €uro's would be unlikely to extend, there's nothing in it for them.

[polar fox] 24/5/2019 14:47

Another insider tweet on the subject:

The Brexiteer candidates (ie Boris and Dominic Raab) in particular should be very careful what they say during the campaign - temptation clearly to talk tough but probably odds on that their first action will have to be requesting another extension from the EU...

[polar fox] 24/5/2019 14:41

Insider tweet, followed by Tom ND's own tweet:

NEW: Boris Johnson rules out an extension. He tells an economic conference in Switzerland: “We will leave the EU on October 31, deal or no deal... The way to get a good deal is to prepare for a no deal. To get things done you need to be prepared to walk away."

Is this Boris's first big mistake? There won't even be enough time to pass the 6 No Deal bills before Oct 31 now, let alone other preparations. Some serious Brexiteers are now saying extend A50 by another 12 months and then you'd be ready for a hard ball new negotiation.

An extension beyond Halloween is already in the equation by the look of it.

[polar fox] 24/5/2019 13:48

Surely the Halloween deadline is there only until it isn't.

In the weeks ahead, we may possibly see some nods and winks from Brussels - much will probably hinge on political developments around Westminster, of course. She only just trailed her departure!
